Chargers' Watt, Okung, King, Ekeler share messages on Mother's Day

On a day where mothers are recognized for all the hard work and daily sacrifices they make to better the lives of their children, the Chargers highlighted four players who shared a message about their moms.

Through a series of tweets, the team shared them through the official Twitter account from fullback Derek Watt, offensive tackle Russell Okung, cornerback Desmond King and running back Austin Ekeler.

The general theme of these players is how appreciative they are of all that their mothers have done to help them in their personal lives and support for their professional careers. Without the help of them along the way, they may have not been able to pursue their dreams and have the opportunity to play in the NFL.

Los Angeles was one of many NFL teams who made sure to take to their social media accounts to pay tribute to moms everywhere on this holiday, but words can hardly express how special, and important a mother’s love is — athlete or otherwise.
